Allegro in Parkland is outstanding! My mother has lived there for a year and a half and I cannot speak highly enough about how great this is for her (and us--her family). I can truly say that my mother's quality of life has improved since she moved in. She was living in a single family home by herself (after her husband passed away) with the help of an aide. Upon moving to Allegro she has been more social, interacts with people on a daily basis, made new friends, and is enjoying the lifestyle. What is even more telling is that everyone who works at Allegro knows my mother by name. As her son, that makes me feel so good knowing that she is in a great place.
As for the staff, they are all oustanding! The care staff is amazing, caring, patient, and kind. They have helped my mother more than they will ever truly know. As a family, we are so appreciative of the care staff.
The food in the restaurant is very good. My mother eats 3 meals a day in or from the restaurant and enjoys them all (sometimes a bit too much). Everyone is friendly, helpful, and always have a smile on their face. They are very accomodating with their meal selection as well.
When my mother first moved to Allegro, I wasn't quite sure how it was going to go. But after being there for some time, she loves it there. And as a family, we love that she is in great hands at Allegro.
If there were other ways to sing their praises, I would. I am happy to chat with anyone about the great experience that my mother is having while at Allegro.
As a family, we live 10 minutes away so it gives us the chance to always be there almost at anytime, but we don't need to be there anytime because the staff at Allegro put our minds at ease.
I would strongly recommend Allegro to anyone who is thinking about moving to Senior Living. My mother is on the assisted living side of Allegro. Thank you Allegro for all...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI am so grateful that we found Allegro! It is a beautiful community for active adults, the amenities are incredible, and the staff has been fantastic. Unlike many other communities, planned activities are open and available for Independent Living residents and Assisted Living residents as well. There really isn't much separation between the various residents which really increases the activity options and enhances the community aspect.
My grandmother started exploring assisted living alternatives about a year before she finally made the decision to make the move. Rebecca met us on our first visit and patiently continued to stay in touch by inviting us to special events throughout the year so my grandmother could get a more authentic Allegro experience. Once we found the perfect apartment, Sofia did a great job welcoming us and making sure my grandmother had everything she needed to feel right at home. These ladies along with the other staff have been great. They literally rolled out the red carpet for my grandmother and the other staff members welcome us whenever we come to visit. It is refreshing to see how families are welcomed at Allegro. We love to visit and play board games, putt putt or watch a movie in the theater. Once we even got to catch the tail end of one of my grandmother's favorite activities Bingo :) The friendships made by the residents are also a huge plus and really enhance the quality of life at Allegro.
We explored many options before deciding on Allegro and I have been very impressed. The Allegro team is committed to making sure that residents have a great experience and take a genuine interest in finding out what could be better and making it happen. I'm very glad that my grandmother made the decision to move to Allegro @ Parkland. I would highly recommend to anyone who is exploring Independent or Assisted Living for themselves or...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe proactively started looking at assisted living facilities about two years ago so that my mother would be part of the process - if and when the time came. Out of all the facilities we visited, Allegro Parkland stood out miles ahead of the rest. It honestly is more like a resort. Clean, smells good, beautiful design throughout. Apartment with granite counters and a screened in patio. Staff is so nice and helpful. Food is pretty good. Fun activities each day. They even have a pool!
After about 6 months of persuasion, my mother agreed to āgive it a tryā and she has been at Allegro Parkland for about a month now. Not only is she enjoying it there but I am also seeing an improvement in her overall attitude and cognitive function. When she was living at her home by herself, her day pretty much consisted of waking up, watching TV all day, barely eating, going to bed and repeating this every day. She was deeply depressed and honestly lost the will to live but now that she is at Allegro, she is happy, making friends, eating regularly, participating in activities and has some independence back. She is also working with physical therapist that are on site to help her regain strength.
As an added bonus, I would say my mom living at Allegro has also been a great help to me. Hairdresser on site, nail salon on site, physician (PCP) on site, no need for weekly grocery shopping and I know that 24 hours a day, there is competent staff on site to assist her if she needs help. Its a win win.
Many thanks to Rebecca and Debbie for all their help and support during this transition. You have both...
